kevmcc90 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Anyone tell me what this does and if it's required? Got one on my top radiator hose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Think it's for a water temp gauge? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Have you get a separate water temp gauge in your car? Not the one on the speedo cluster but a aftermarket one? It's for a temperature sensor to be fitted for a aftermarket gauge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLF88 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Water temp adapter. If you're running boost it's not required but it's best to have one, ideally hooked up to a gauge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's so you can have an after market water temp gauge not needed if you don't want it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevmcc90 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's on my standard radiator hose but gonna have to replace hose as had issue with it touching new manifold so was wondering if needed to re use this or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 If you have a water temp gauge then yes if you don't then no you can drill and tap the thermostat housing if you want to get rid of that tough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevmcc90 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 What would I need to drill and tap for? Will it not just be removed with old pipe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevmcc90 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Actually misread your reply there. If wanted a gauge I could just drill the housing. With u. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yes bud that's what I'm going to do when the time comes lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevmcc90 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Do you have an uprated radiator hose or just standard one at moment? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
